Abstract: In a method of filtration, a liquid to be filtered is brought into contact with the surface of a filter medium and is passed through the filter medium. A supernatant liquid layer is created on the surface of the filter medium, and the upper level of the liquid layer is suitably controlled. A hydraulic path is organized in the liquid layer, and a stream of the liquid to be treated is brought to the inlet of the hydraulic path. Liquid that has passed through the filter medium is recovered for n cycles by reinjecting the liquid into the supernatant layer at the outlet of the hydraulic path, producing in a section of the path a meeting of two opposed streams. The treated liquid is then drawn off after n cycles.

Abstract: A method of an apparatus for compensating optical non-linearity in optical devices and transmission systems. Two second order interactions are cascaded in phase-mismatched second harmonic generation to accumulate a non-linear phase shift of a fundamental wave. The non-linear phase shift can be set to provide a desired amount of non-linearity compensation. Compensation takes place in a compensating medium having a negative effective non-linear refractive index at the design operating conditions of the compensating medium. Compensators incorporating these principles may be incorporated as passive or active components in optical transmitters, repeaters or receivers. Active components may be tuned by varying the operating condition of the compensating medium, for example by controlling temperature or applied stress. Embodiments of the invention use the compensator as pre- or post-compensators in an optical amplifier, to eliminate or reduce self-phase modulation in the optical amplifier that occurs as a result of the Kerr effect.

Abstract: A building construction of wood is based on a framework of wooden battens which are arranged in several layers with mutually intersecting battens, and which are displaced from each other in such a manner that places at which there is through-going wood in the transverse direction do not generally arise at the intersecting areas. In corner areas between adjoining framework planes, the ends of the battens are adapted to form part of a labyrinth assembly. In places where a high filling with wooden parts in the transverse direction arises, the formation of cold conductors is, however, counteracted by the intersection of heat-insulation layers between two or more of the wooden parts.

Abstract: In a pattern recognition system, a pattern which is to be recognized later is prescribed in a learning phase. This pattern is detected sequentially, that is to say the informative areas of the pattern are detected and, moreover, the spatial relationship between the areas is also stored. In the recognition phase, a hypothesis which indicates a presumed pattern and, furthermore, indicates where such further prominent areas should be located in the pattern to be recognized if the presumption is correct, is generated on the basis of the acquired data of a first area of a pattern to be recognized, and on the basis of the stored data. Thus, patterns are learned through their location information, on the one hand, and through their spatial relationship to each other, on the other hand, stored and then re-recognized. The application options of the present invention reside, for example, in robotics, text analysis and image analysis, but also in the field of medical technology (for example in automatic tumor detection in mammographies, etc).
